Two years ago, I was a happy man. I was just leaving a great restaurant with my girlfriend after we had an excellent meal. We were heading back to my place, a little bit drunk and it was a cool Saturday evening.

Two years ago, I had just gone to the farmer's market with friends, tasting great food and buying lots of it. God bless them farmers.

Two years ago, I was still working in that same boring company half-doing a boring job. But things went well then, so I didn't care much.

Two years ago, I had seen Sonata Arctica's concert in Paris and enjoyed it a lot (though the drummer looked like a 10-year-old).

Two years ago, we had released ReXplorer's latest version and thought we had push the limits further with the minimap extraction and stuff.

Two years ago, my father had called me to tell me my grandfather was dying after many years of pain. He was to follow his beloved wife that passed away the year before.

Two years ago, you were making a long walk through Sweden.When I logged in back home after the restaurant, I learned you'd never come back from there.
You introduced me to their music but you will never come with me to a Sonata Arctica concert.
We'll never work again on ReXplorer together.
We'll never fight 3 CPUs on Funeral Pyre again.
I didn't know I had to bury you one week before my grandfather. I wasn't ready for that. I wasn't prepared.

Two years ago, I was a shattered man.

God I'm so sorry. I've been quite shaken lately as well because of the whole earthquake thing and watching videos of it on the news is just killing me.

I hope you feel better now and have come to terms with it. Keep strong man.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

I'm sorry about your losses and troubles. I know it's sad, but reflecting is good - it shows you why you have to keep on living. Best of luck to you in the future, take it easy.
Peace~

It's rough thinking about those you've lost every day, hopefully you do so with a healthy mindset (they're in a better place, you had fun together while they were here, etc.).
Peace~

Yes and no, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I'm not depressed, I just think of him.

omg I was listening to sander van doorns look inside your head (original mix) and the song set the mood perfectly when I read your blog. Your words touched me inside and made me think about my grandfather. Hope you always remember the great times you had with and your grandfather.

Very touching blog. It's nice that you remember them and hold on to them and share this with us. We don't know what we have until it is gone. Need people like you to inspire us to look around and be thankful every once in awhile.

il0seonpurpose : "only" Chris and my grandparents (well, I still have one grandma)
inc : yes, totally. That's what I meant by "I was not prepared". I mean, I was kinda aware I had to lose my grandparents but Chris was only 25, no one expected that.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it means a lot.
